House of Lords Event 21 May 2020

Dear NCUP colleagues,

I am delighted to announce that Professor Dame Madeleine Atkins has agreed to be our speaker at the next NCUP luncheon, to be held on Thursday 21st May, 2020.

The title of her talk is: ‘The University Sector: Criticisms and Remedies’.

The University sector has suffered its share of criticism in recent months. Charges of elitism, failure to prepare students for the world of work, too much emphasis on research at the expense of teaching are but a few of the perceived failures of the sector.

Are the criticisms justified? And what remedies can universities employ?

Professor Atkins’s background includes reading Law and History as an undergraduate at Cambridge University (Girton College), teaching in a large comprehensive school in Huntingdon, and completing a PhD and post-doctoral research contracts at the University of Nottingham.
